According to Gizmoweek , the latest report from TechInsights shows that the Samsung ISOCELL JN1 camera sensor tops the rankings based on shipment volume. As an affordable 50MP sensor, the ISOCELL JN1 is often used as a secondary camera on many phones.
Camera sensors from Sony are commonly used in iPhones.
But when it comes to high-end smartphones, Sony's camera sensors stand out more thanks to the popularity of Apple's iPhones. Both the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro rely heavily on Sony's advanced image sensors for their main camera, ultrawide camera, telephoto camera, and LiDAR.
Sony's image sensors are found in the latest iPhones, including the 12 MP IMX813 (ultrawide camera), the 48 MP IMX803 (main camera), the 12 MP IMX593 (telephoto camera), and the IMX591 (LiDAR sensor).
Reportedly, Sony's image sensors found in current iPhone models include the IMX713 (telephoto camera on the iPhone 13 Pro Max and 14 Pro Max), IMX714 (front camera on the iPhone 14 Pro Max and 15 Pro Max), IMX590 (ToF sensor on the iPhone 13 Pro Max and 14 Pro Max), and IMX633 (ultrawide camera on the iPhone 14 Pro Max and 15 Pro Max).
Although Samsung also supplies the main sensors for high-end phones like the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the company uses Sony's 10MP IMX754 sensor for the telephoto camera.
Overall, Sony continues to dominate the smartphone image sensor industry with a 56% market share in the first half of 2023. Apple alone accounts for over 55% of Sony's image sensor revenue thanks to its use of advanced 48MP and 12MP sensors in its current iPhone lineup. In particular, the IMX803 48MP sensor used in the latest iPhones has helped Sony's market share in the 48MP and above segment exceed 48%.
Advanced image sensors from Sony and Samsung are considered a key factor in the photography experience on today's high-end smartphones. The iPhone's massive sales are partly due to Sony's sensor advancements.
